Off-Grid and Emergency Lighting Selection
Solar and battery lighting is sized for a site, not picked from a shelf. Panel area, battery capacity and the hours actually needed decide whether a lamp is still working in February.
How It Is Done, Step By Step
State the location and the hours
Latitude and the hours per night you need are the two inputs that matter. Everything else follows from them.
Separate panel from lamp where you can
On the solar flood references the panel is a module on a lead, so it can be aimed at the sun independently of the lamp.
Decide fixed or portable
Solar for lamps that stay put; rechargeable flood lights for work that moves, including a model with a replaceable battery case.
Check charging and working time per reference
Charging time, working time and battery type are listed individually, because they differ by model and averages are misleading.
